Directions

After getting the mission from the guards speak with Alois in the President's Office Building and he asks you for an item for research...right...anyway head out to Rabao to talk to Dancing Wolf on the far side of the pond. Now you are ready to head to Kuftal Tunnel for the fight.

The setup for the fight should be an alliance, you will need two or three tanks and as many BLMs and RDMs as you can possibly find. You are fighting a slime, so melee is pointless, not to mention if you physically hit one of the NMs, you will cause it to a powerful AoE ability. So if there are melee doing the mission, have them sit in the cheap seats and watch they are useless.

Things to be aware of about the NM is that it is a slime, but more importantly that you have only one NM to begin with, but when you defeat him he divides into two smaller weaker ones. And so on for one or two more times. So the strategy is kill the big, he divides, have the tank pick up the two NMs, provoking and spells nothing else, no engaging. Then have the BLMs and RDM focus there attacks on one NM, then when it divides, focus on one the others. Keep doing this until it stops dividing, and then go back to the next smallest one and continue the process. Remember to sleep the ones you are not fighting and have the tanks provoke the ones that are not being fought. Ideally if you have enough BLMs the tanks should not have much time to provoke as they should wipe through them all easily. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have BLMs and RDMs, you need nuking power, so unless you have 4 or 5 BLMs or RDMs wait until you do, else it will take a long time, there will be a lot of death and you will be very annoyed. If you have a full party of BLMs or RDMs you should be done with it inside of 5 minutes.

Now the directions, go inside Gustav Tunnel and to the second map at G-9, from the second map head to the left side and have your alliance sit at H-6/7, the area there will be the high ground sit on it and have only two people go out to get the NM have a BLM and someone to pop the monster. The ??? is around G-6 have someone examine it and the BLM sleep it, and then run back to the camp site. Wait for the slime to come to you and begin your fight.

Once finished everyone go to the ??? again now and examine it for the Key Item. Return to Dancing Wolf and then back to Bastok to finish the mission by talking to Alois.
